Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the predictive value of Ellipsoid Zone (EZ) -related angle parameters for the outcome of primary macular hole surgery. METHODS This was a retrospective study. Patients diagnosed with large macular hole (MH) (minimum diameter > 500 μm) between 2018 and 2021 were enrolled. All patients underwent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and air tamponade. Spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured in preoperative and 2-week post-operative. Classic and angle related parameters were measured via ImageJ. Angle regularity (AR) were defined as the standard deviation of the angle parameters in vertical and horizontal direction. RESULTS Seventy-six eyes were included for analysis; 24 eyes showed an unclosed macular hole at the 2-week postoperative and 52 eyes showed a closed hole. Preoperatively, MLD (P < 0.001), BD (P = 0.009) and diameter of EZ/ELM disruption (P = 0.002 and 0.025) in patients failed to close the hole after primary surgery were significantly larger than those succeeded. EZ-MH (P = 0.018), EZ-NFL (P = 0.006), EZ-GCL (P = 0.004), EZ-INL (P = 0.002), EZ-OPL (P = 0.009) and EZ-ONL (P = 0.011) angles were smaller in patients with unclosed hole. AR of the EZ-NFL (P = 0.009), EZ-GCL (P = 0.009), EZ-OPL (P = 0.023), EZ-ONL (P = 0.048) and Basal-NFL (P = 0.030) angles among the unclosed patients were significantly larger than those of the closed group. EZ-NFL (P = 0.015), EZ-GCL (P = 0.004), EZ-INL (P < 0.001), EZ-OPL (P < 0.001), EZ-ONL (P < 0.001), Basal (P = 0.023) and Basal-NFL (P < 0.001) angles of hole-unclosed patients enlarged significantly after the surgery. CONCLUSIONS Patients with large macular holes and an increased EZ-related angle and angle AR are more likely to experience unsuccessful outcomes following primary MH surgery. Therefore, EZ-related angles hold potential as valuable parameters for predicting the surgical outcome.

[PMID: 37736985 PMCID: PMC10514838 DOI: 10.3390/tomography9050132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Since its first introduction more than 30 years ago, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has revolutionized ophthalmology practice, providing a non-invasive in vivo cross-sectional view of the structures of the eye. Mostly employed in the clinical setting due to its tabletop configuration requiring an upright patient positioning, the recent advent of microscope-integrated systems now allows ophthalmologists to perform real-time intraoperative OCT (iOCT) during vitreoretinal surgical procedures. Numerous studies described various applications of this tool, such as offering surgeons feedback on tissue-instrument interactions in membrane peeling, providing structural images in macular hole repair, and showing residual subretinal fluid or perfluorocarbon in retinal detachment surgery. This narrative review aims at describing the state of the art of iOCT in vitreoretinal procedures, highlighting its modern role and applications in posterior segment surgery, its current limitations, and the future perspectives that may improve the widespread adoption of this technology.

[PMID: 37629324 PMCID: PMC10455272 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12165282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
We evaluated the closure of full-thickness macular holes (MHs) the day after surgery in minimizing the burden and maximizing patient outcomes. Herein, 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and fluid-gas (20% sulfur hexafluoride) were performed for the treatment. Patients were instructed to remain in the facedown position until the confirmation of MH closure, and the position was discontinued in cases where the closure was confirmed. In total, 43 eyes of 43 patients, whose average age was 69.7 ± 8.6 years, were enrolled in this study. We used swept source (SS)-optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the confirmation of MH closure for gas-filled eyes and used spectral domain (SD)-OCT for the reconfirmation of MH closure after the gas volume was reduced to less than half of the vitreous cavity. MH closure was confirmed in 40 eyes (93%, the closure group) on the next day after surgery. The time from surgery to SS-OCT imaging was 24.7 h. Although facedown positioning was terminated in cases where MH closure was confirmed, there were no cases in which the MH was re-opened afterward. The basal and minimum MH size was significantly larger in the non-closure group than that in the closure group (p = 0.027, p = 0.043, respectively). Therefore, checking with SS-OCT the day after surgery and terminating facedown positioning in cases where MH closure was confirmed would be a useful method, removing a great burden for the elderly without sacrificing the MH closure rate.

Intraocular Tamponade Choice with Vitrectomy and Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling for Idiopathic Macular Hole: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Ophthalmol Retina 2022; 6:457-468. [PMID: 35144020 DOI: 10.1016/j.oret.2022.01.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2021] [Revised: 01/23/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
TOPIC A variety of different tamponade agents are used with vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for the treatment of idiopathic macular holes. These agents include air, gas (sulfur hexafluoride [SF6], hexafluoroethane [C2F6], and perfluoropropane [C3F8]), and silicone oil. The optimal tamponade agent is uncertain, and we aimed to review the effect of tamponade choice on hole closure and visual outcomes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although most surgeons initially chose to use long-acting gas (C3F8), there has been a gradual change in practice to the increasing use of the medium- (C2F6) and short-acting gases (SF6) or even air. However, there is no consensus regarding their relative efficacies. METHODS Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and prospective and retrospective comparative cohort studies comparing different tamponade agents in patients undergoing vitrectomy and ILM peeling for primary idiopathic macular holes. For RCTs, the risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool for RCTs, whereas for nonrandomized studies, the Risk of Bias in Nonrandomized Studies of Interventions tool was used. RESULTS Thirteen publications, including 2 RCTs, were identified. Overall, there was no significant difference in the anatomic closure rates between studies using SF6 compared with either C3F8 or C2F6 (odds ratio [OR] = 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.51-1.08). A subgroup analysis showed a significantly higher closure rate using SF6 (OR = 0.49; 95% CI = 0.30-0.79) in patients without postoperative posturing but not in those who were advised to posture facedown. The visual outcomes and adverse events were not significantly different. The comparisons of anatomic closure rates of patients treated with gas tamponade vs. silicone oil and with air vs. SF6 showed no significant differences. The included studies had a number of methodological limitations and heterogeneities, making conclusions imprecise, with low or very low certainty by the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. CONCLUSION The current evidence base for tamponade selection with vitrectomy and ILM peeling for full-thickness macular hole has several major limitations. Further appropriately designed studies are needed to guide tamponade selection.

Automatic evaluation of graft orientation during Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty using intraoperative OCT. BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS 2022; 13:2683-2694.

Abstract
Correct Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) graft orientation is imperative for success of DMEK surgery, but intraoperative evaluation can be challenging. We present a method for automatic evaluation of the graft orientation in intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT), exploiting the natural rolling behavior of the graft. The method encompasses a deep learning model for graft segmentation, post-processing to obtain a smooth line representation, and curvature calculations to determine graft orientation. For an independent test set of 100 iOCT-frames, the automatic method correctly identified graft orientation in 78 frames and obtained an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.84. When we replaced the automatic segmentation with the manual masks, the AUC increased to 0.92, corresponding to an accuracy of 86%. In comparison, two corneal specialists correctly identified graft orientation in 90% and 91% of the iOCT-frames.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To determine whether an automated artificial intelligence (AI) model could assess macular hole (MH) volume on swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a proof-of-concept consecutive case series. Patients with an idiopathic full-thickness MH undergoing pars plana vitrectomy surgery with 1 year of follow-up were considered for inclusion. MHs were manually graded by a vitreoretinal surgeon from preoperative OCT images to delineate MH volume. This information was used to train a fully three-dimensional convolutional neural network for automatic segmentation. The main outcome was the correlation of manual MH volume to automated volume segmentation. RESULTS The correlation between manual and automated MH volume was R2 = 0.94 (n = 24). Automated MH volume demonstrated a higher correlation to change in visual acuity from preoperative to the postoperative 1-year time point compared with the minimum linear diameter (volume: R2 = 0.53; minimum linear diameter: R2 = 0.39). CONCLUSION MH automated volume segmentation on OCT imaging demonstrated high correlation to manual MH volume measurements. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2022;53(4):208-214.].

Abstract
In this systematic review, we provide an overview of the current state of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT). As iOCT technology is increasingly utilized, its current clinical applications and potential uses warrant attention. Here, we categorize the findings of various studies by their respective fields, including the use of iOCT in vitreoretinal surgery, corneal surgery, glaucoma surgery, cataract surgery, and pediatric ophthalmology. The trend observed in recent decades towards performing minimally invasive ophthalmic surgery has caused practitioners to recognize the limitations of using a conventional surgical microscope for intraoperative visualization. Thus, the superior visualization provided by iOCT can improve the safety of these surgical techniques and promote the development of new minimally invasive ophthalmic surgeries. Landmark prospective studies found that iOCT can significantly affect surgical decision making and can cause a subsequent change in surgical strategy, and the use of iOCT has potential to improve surgical outcome. Despite these advantages, however, iOCT is still a relatively new technique, and beginning users of iOCT can encounter limitations that can preclude their reaching the full potential of iOCT and in this respect several improvements are needed.

Abstract
Aim To report the treatment of 7 cases of unsealed hole after macular hole surgery with air-fluid exchange. Methods Retrospective case series. We collected 7 eyes of 7 patients with unsealed hole an unsealed hole about 2 weeks after macular hole surgery (23G vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling with sterilizing air tamponade) in our hospital from February 2018 to December 2018. All patients underwent “air-liquid exchange by free hand and one needle.” The prone position was taken one week after operation. The macular holes before and after operation were examined by frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Results The size of the macular hole before vitrectomy was 481 ± 156 μm (range: 281–609 μm). Two weeks after vitrectomy (before air and liquid exchange), the size of the macular hole was 295 ± 92 μm (range: 210–421 μm). All macular holes were closed within 7–14 days after air-liquid exchange. There was no complaint of discomfort among these patients. Conclusion From this preliminary study, air-liquid exchange by free hand and one needle seems to be safe and effective in the treatment for patients with unsealed and tiny macular hole after vitrectomy as the lack of long effective gas in China. However, the exact efficacy and safety need further large case studies.

Ellipsoid Zone and External Limiting Membrane-Related Parameters on Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography and Their Relationships With Visual Prognosis After Successful Macular Hole Surgery.

Abstract
Purpose: To compare structural diameters of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and external limiting membrane (ELM) bands on spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images between vision-improved (group A) and vision-unimproved (group B) patients, and investigate the connection between these parameters and visual prognosis. Materials and Methods: Forty-five eyes of 43 patients with idiopathic full-thickness macular hole closed after vitrectomy were retrospectively reviewed. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and SD-OCT were conducted preoperatively and at 1 week, 1 month and 6 months postoperatively. Structural and functional parameters were then measured using ImageJ software. Results: Among structural and functional parameters, the relative reflectivity of EZ and the ratio of continuous ELM and EZ in group A were significantly higher than in group B from the 1-month postoperative visit. At the 6-month follow-up, the diameter of EZ disruption in group A was significantly smaller than in group B, and the relative reflectivity of ELM/EZ was significantly higher than group B. At 6-months, BCVA was statistically significantly correlated with baseline BCVA, basal diameter (BD), macular hole index (MHI), and diameter of ELM/EZ disruption. Change in BCVA from baseline was found to be significantly correlated with axial length and diameter hole index (DHI). Conclusions: Postoperative BCVA outcome was significantly correlated with integrity, thickness and reflectivity of the EZ band. Patients with smaller diameter of EZ disruption and higher reflectivity of EZ band tended to have better visual outcomes. Given that the EZ band reflects the recovery of mitochondria in photoreceptors, it is a promising parameter for their functional evaluation.

Abstract
Hintergrund Die Beurteilung der intraoperativen Veränderung der Netzhautmorphologie, insbesondere des vitreoretinalen Überganges, ist mithilfe der intraoperativen optischen Kohärenztomografie (iOCT) möglich geworden. Ziel der Arbeit Um die Bedeutung der intraoperativen Morphologie beim durchgreifenden Makulaforamen (MF) für das postoperative funktionelle Ergebnis zu evaluieren, wurde eine retrospektive, klinische Beobachtungsstudie durchgeführt. Material und Methoden Die Netzhautmorphologie wurde in 32 Augen von 32 konsekutiven Patienten mit durchgreifendem Makulaforamen mittels iOCT zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten während der Operation beobachtet. Die Veränderungen wurden anschließend mit dem postoperativen funktionellen Ergebnis korreliert. Ergebnisse Nach Induktion der hinteren Glaskörperabhebung (HGA) reduzierte sich der Makulaforamen-Index (MHI) um −0,05 (p = 0,01), die basale Foramenbreite (FB) stieg um +99,4 μm (SD = 197,8 μm; p = 0,04). Die Verschlussrate betrug 100 % zum Zeitpunkt der ersten postoperativen Vorstellung nach im Mittel 73 Tagen, der postoperative Visus verbesserte sich signifikant (p < 0,05). Es zeigte sich eine signifikant positive Korrelation von intraoperativer Morphologie und postoperativem Ergebnis zwischen einem niedrigen MHI und einem besseren postoperativen Visus (SKK = 0,50; p = 0,02), zwischen einer großen FB und einem besseren postoperativen Visus (SKK = 0,43; p = 0,05) sowie zwischen einer breiten Apertur nach HGA und einem größeren Visusanstieg postoperativ (SKK = 0,44; p = 0,03). Diskussion Wir konnten eine Abflachung sowie eine Verbreiterung des MF durch Lösen der vitreoretinalen Zugkräfte beobachten. Aufgrund des Zusammenhangs zwischen einer großen intraoperativen FB mit einem besseren postoperativen Visus scheint die intraoperative Relaxierung der Netzhaut bedeutsam.

Pak J Med Sci 2021; 37:1504-1508. [PMID: 34475938 PMCID: PMC8377905 DOI: 10.12669/pjms.37.5.4126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Revised: 05/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the utility of novel macular hole indices of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and predicting the functional outcome of surgery. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of 28 eyes who underwent surgery for idiopathic Full Thickness Macular Hole (FTMH) at The Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), Karachi from January 2016 to March 2020. Data of preoperative OCTs were recovered from data server of OCT machine. Measurements of the pre-operative OCTs were calculated using caliper function of OCT software by two independent technicians. Parameters included Macular Hole Index (MHI), Traction Hole Index (THI), Hole Form Factor (HFF) and Diameter Hole Index (DHI) were recorded. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the performance of DHI, THI, HFF and MHI for improved BCVA after surgery, by looking at sensitivity, specificity and area under curve (AUC). P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Out of 30 eyes, final data analysis was done for 28 eyes. Mean age was 61.5 ± 6.2 years. Mean pre-operative and 6 months post-operative LogMAR best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.84 ± 0.23 and 0.32 ± 0.30 (p-value <0.001). Area under the curve with 95% confidence interval estimated for DHI, THI, HFF, and MHI was [0.750 (0.559 to 0.889)], [0.827 (0.637 to 0.943)], [0.846 (0.660 to 0.954)], [0.827 (0.637 to 0.943)]. Cut off values for predicting good functional outcome (post-op BCVA equal or better that 0.4) for DHI, THI, HFF and MHI were 0.454, 1.086, 0.856 and 0.501 respectively. All ROC value of less than 0.5 were considered unlikely to predict functional outcomes with macular hole indices. Conclusion: Novel macular hole indices can be used as a tool to predict the functional outcomes of macular hole surgery. Larger studies may be required to assess their wider effectiveness.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate whether intraoperative retinal changes during epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling affect anatomic or functional outcomes after surgery. Methods We measured retinal thickness using an intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) device in patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling for idiopathic ERM. Changes in intraoperative central macular thickness (iCMT) were compared with postoperative improvements in CMT and best-corrected visual acuity (VA). Results Twenty-seven eyes from 27 patients (mean age 68 years) underwent iOCT-assisted ERM peeling surgery. Before surgery, mean VA was logMAR 0.50 ± 0.36 (Snellen 20/63), and mean baseline CMT was 489 ± 82 µm. Mean iCMT before peeling was 477 ± 87 µm, which correlated well with preoperative CMT (P < 0.001). Mean change in iCMT was −39.6 ± 37 µm (range −116 to +77 µm). After surgery, VA improved to logMAR 0.40 ± 0.38 (Snellen 20/50) at month 1 and logMAR 0.27 ± 0.23 (Snellen 20/37) at month 3, whereas CMT decreased to 397 ± 44 µm and 396 ± 51 µm at months 1 and 3. Eyes that underwent greater amount of iCMT change (absolute value of iCMT change) were associated with greater CMT reduction at month 1 (P < 0.001) and month 3 (P = 0.010), whereas those with greater intraoperative thinning (actual iCMT change) showed a trend toward better VA outcomes at months 1 (P = 0.054) and 3 (P = 0.036). Conclusions Intraoperative changes in retinal thickness may predict anatomic and visual outcomes after idiopathic ERM peeling surgery. Translational Relevance Our study suggests that intraoperative retinal tissue response to ERM peeling surgery measured by iOCT may be a prognostic indicator for restoration of retinal architecture and for visual acuity outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, great progress has been made in intraoperative imaging using optical coherence tomography (iOCT). There are now several commercially available iOCT systems that allow high-resolution imaging of all structures of the eye without interrupting surgery. This real-time visualisation can provide additional information to conventional surgical microscopy, but is relatively expensive. The aim of our study was to find out how often OCT integrated into the surgical microscope is used by trained surgeons, or to what extent they consider that iOCT is relevant for intraoperative procedures. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective monocentric analysis was conducted of the field of application and user-friendliness of the EnFocus Ultra-Deep OCT (Leica Microsystems), a mobile device combination of surgical microscope and OCT. The use and benefit were investigated of iOCT, which was not mandatory. Standardised documentation and evaluation using a questionnaire was performed by the respective surgeon (n = 5) immediately after surgery. RESULTS Over a period of 25 working days, 118 procedures were performed in the operating theatre equipped with the microscope-OCT combination. The iOCT was used in 24.6% of the 118 procedures performed. iOCT was regarded as crucial to the intraoperative procedure in 3 of the 29 patients. In one patient, it was possible to check graft orientation during a DMEK operation in a very opaque cornea and, in the second patient, to visualise the correct positioning of an iris diaphragm in the capsular bag. In the third patient, the risk of developing a pseudoforamen was assessed, and this led to the decision not to perform a full gliosis peel. CONCLUSION Experienced surgeons in a university eye hospital with a full surgical spectrum considered that intraoperative OCT was decisive for the course of surgery in only a few selected surgical situations, e.g. in case of limited corneal transparency. The impact of the use of iOCT on post-operative outcome quality still needs to be evaluated by larger prospective studies. On the basis of this survey, the cost-benefit ratio is still unclear.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate association of the baseline macular hole (MH) geometric features and longitudinal ellipsoid zone integrity with the visual acuity outcome after surgical repair. METHODS This was a post-hoc analysis of eyes in the DISCOVER study undergoing vitrectomy repair for MH. Anatomical and functional data were collected through one year postoperatively. An automated retinal layer segmentation platform was used for the assessment of outer retinal metrics and volumetric reconstruction of MH. Association of longitudinal ellipsoid zone features and baseline MH height, width, and volume with VA outcomes were investigated. RESULTS Eighty-four eyes with MH were included. The mean baseline VA was 20 of 114 and increased to 20 of 45 (P < 0.001) at postoperative Month 12 (N = 45). Successful MH closure was achieved in 98.8% of cases. Ellipsoid zone integrity metrics significantly improved from baseline (P = 0.002) and postoperative Month 1 (P < 0.001) to post-operative Month 12. Ellipsoid zone metrics independently correlated with VA at all follow-up visits (P < 0.05). Increased baseline MH width and volume negatively correlated with the VA at postoperative Month 12 (P < 0.001). Preoperative VA and EZ integrity on optical coherence tomography were predictors for postoperative VA. CONCLUSION Baseline MH volumetric parameters and EZ parameters were associated with VA outcomes after repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomarkers are characteristic biological measurable signs and objective parameters to detect the state of health. Besides functional and temporal factors, imaging biomarkers play an increasingly important role. In full-thickness and lamellar defects of the macula numerous imaging parameters have been described. This knowledge resulted in new classifications for both clinical pictures, which are based on important biomarkers of these clinical pictures and characteristic features of described subtypes. METHODS Imaging biomarkers for full-thickness and lamellar macular defects are described with respect to the classification and their functional prognostic importance. The importance of these biomarkers is presented. RESULTS The current classification of full-thickness and lamellar macular defects is based on structural biomarkers. Biomarkers are important for prognostic and therapeutic evaluation and they have an impact on the surgical strategy. There are various surgical strategies for treatment of full-thickness macular holes depending on the size of the foramen and other biomarkers. The inverted ILM flap technique improves the closure rate of large macular holes. In lamellar macular holes showing signs of progression an early surgical intervention results in a good anatomical and functional prognosis. CONCLUSION Multimodal diagnostics provide important preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative features for macular holes and lamellar macular holes, which are essential biomarkers for the exact classification, the therapeutic strategy and for assessment of the prognosis.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate anatomical and visual outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane peeling (ILMP) in large idiopathic full-thickness macular holes (FTMH). Predictive factors also formed part of the study. Patients and Methods A retrospective review of medical charts and optical coherence tomography images of patients with large idiopathic FTMH (≥400 µm) was conducted. Results One hundred and fifty-eight eyes of 155 patients with a mean age of 62.94±7.50 years were included in the study. Mean preoperative visual acuity (VA) was 1.26±0.36 logMAR. Mean preoperative minimum linear diameter (MLD) and basal linear diameter (BLD) were 644.89±136.85 µm and 1208.11±307.14 µm, respectively. At 12 weeks postoperative follow-up, FTMH closure rate was 61.39% and mean postoperative BCVA was 0.92±0.36 logMAR. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed the anatomical outcome was significantly associated with BLD ≤1200 µm, preoperative vitreomacular interface (VMI) disorder and extended ILMP (a radius of 2 disc diameters), whereas only postoperative ellipsoid loss ≤500 µm was significantly associated with visual outcome. In subgroup analyses, the large FTMH group (400–600 µm) had significantly better results in closure rate (70.97% vs 55.21%, P = 0.047) and visual results (P = 0.031) than the extra-large FTMH group (>600 µm). Conclusion PPV with conventional ILMP provided relatively low closure rate in large FTMH. Surgical success was significantly associated with BLD ≤1200 µm, no preoperative VMI abnormality, extended ILMP and postoperative ellipsoid defect ≤500 µm. Therefore, we suggest the extended ILMP if conventional ILMP technique is used. The large FTMH group had significantly better surgical outcomes than the extra-large group, so there is a need for reclassification of large FTMH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS This study aimed to characterise the clinical outcomes and utility of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT)-assisted macular hole (MH) repair. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of eyes in the D etermination of feasibility of I ntraoperative S pectral domain microscope C ombined/integrated O CT V isualization during E n face R etinal and ophthalmic surgery (DISCOVER) study undergoing surgical MH repair with use of iOCT. Functional and surgical outcome data were collected through 12 months postoperatively. MH closure rate, postoperative visual acuity (VA), percentage of cases in which iOCT provided valuable feedback and altered surgical decision making were measured. RESULTS Eighty-four eyes were included in this study. The mean preoperative VA measured 20/114. The mean postoperative VA improved to 20/68 (p<0.001) at month 1, 20/48 (p<0.001) at month 3 and 20/45 (p<0.001) at month 12 or later. In 43 cases (51%), surgeons reported that iOCT provided valuable information (eg, confirming release of vitreomacular traction and identification of occult residual membranes). In 10 cases (12%), iOCT data specifically altered surgical decision making. Postoperative day 1 transtamponade OCT confirmed tissue apposition and apparent hole closure in 74% of eyes (21/26). All five open holes on postoperative day 1 closed following positioning. Single-surgery MH closure was achieved in 97.6% of cases. One persistent MH was successfully closed with a subsequent surgical repair for a final overall closure rate of 98.8%. Due to chronicity and MH size, additional repair was not recommended for the single remaining persistent MH. CONCLUSION This study suggests that iOCT may have important utility in MH surgery, including impacting surgical decision making. iOCT-assisted MH surgery resulted in significant improvement in VA and high single-surgery success rate.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to investigate a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding of outer retinal hyperreflective deposits (ORYDs) in patients with naïve diabetic macular oedema (DMO) seen after small gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. Furthermore, we evaluated the predictive value of ORYD for visual outcome over 24 months follow-up. METHODS Retrospective cohort study including 111 eyes from 111 patients with naïve DMO treated by PPV and ILM peeling with a follow-up of 24 months. OCT scans were analysed for the presence of ORYD 1 week and 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery. Change in baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central subfoveal thickness (CST) after surgery were measured over the follow-up period. Presence of ORYD was correlated with baseline characteristics and BCVA after 24 months. RESULTS Hundred and eleven eyes from 111 patients were included (mean age 67.5±14.8 years). ORYD was identified in the outer plexiform layer as hyperreflective deposits in 92 patients (82.8%) 7 days after surgery but it was not present before surgery. There was a significant reduction in the presence of ORYD. After 24 months ORYD disappeared in all cases (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS We describe a novel OCT feature of ORYD present in the early postoperative phase in the majority of patients after PPV with ILM peeling for naïve DMO, disappearing over the postoperative course. These deposits might be a result of sudden desinflammation and could shed new light on the process of DMO resolution after operative intervention.
